Connecticut To Block People On Watch Lists From Buying Guns

[Lakhota]

"If Congress will not act, we in the states will."

Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy (D) announced Thursday he intends to sign a "common sense" executive order prohibiting individuals on government watch lists from buying guns.

"This is a moment to seize here in America," Malloy said during a press conference. "It is incumbent upon leaders at all levels of government to protect its citizenry."

Pending approval from the federal government to access their databases, including the "no-fly" roster, Malloy said he will sign an order requiring those who apply for gun permits to be screened against government watch lists. Those who are on such lists would be banned from purchasing handguns, shotguns, rifles and ammunition.

"If Congress will not act, we in the states will," Malloy said.

He added there would be an appeals process for people who say they have been unfairly placed on government watch lists.

Thank you Governor Malloy! This is common sense that states must act if Congress won't.

That's a fucking joke. Obama will NEVER give the States a list of the no-fliers. Like fucking NEVER. WHY? Because Bonobo will NEVER give any intell to Rep. Government States. NEVER!!!!!
Why? Because it would only take a couple of analysts a couple of days to uncover how complicant Obama has been in letting terrorists into the country. That's why.

It will be deemed unconstitutional, you can't deny a right over a suspicion

Where does the Constitution forbid states from protecting its citizens?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Laugh away, Lakooka. Think about this, I suspect someone has beaten their wife, I have no proof of my suspicion but because of it the person I suspect cannot buy a firearm. Unconstitutional, a person is entitled to due process

What part of "due process of law" is unclear? You can't just strip someone of a right without that person having his day in court.

So how long would the appeal process take? Weeks? Months? Years?

How about we deny voting rights if you are on a list, or 4th amendment rights?

Do you idiots know what type of precedent this sets?

From the OP:

With gun control measures stalled at the federal level, Connecticut has made significant strides since the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. In April 2013, the state passed some of the toughest gun regulations in the nation, including requiring background checks for private gun sales, banning the sale of magazines with a capacity of more than ten rounds and expanding the state's ban on assault weapons.

A study released in June linked the state's dramatic drop in gun-related homicide to the new regulations.

Tar and feathers can be cleaned off, your method of dealing with people you don't like is to ruin them financially.

But it isn't considered violent, so it's OK in your book.

gun violence has been decreasing in general, correlation is not causation when it comes to these laws, and the timeline is too short to get any real information.
